Heres John Kerry on the right ,Clock wise from Kerry is John Edwards, Theresa Heinz, and little Terry Mc Cullife
This is Kerry's central problem. He must appear to be a Communist hippie peacenik abortion-loving metrosexual far-out activist to his large leftist constituency, while simulanteously appearing as a sensible, reliable, patriotic, heroic defender of American values and national security. It ain't possible.
That's why he has is such a two-faced equivocator, talking out of both sides of his mouth on every subject, and that's why each time he appears on camera and opens his mouth he loses more votes.
LOL! :^D
hahaha! :^)
The 'hot' take on his midnight speech was that he was... ahem, loaded!
Oh so you're the one who linked me to your site. Wow, Linda, you have done yourself proud. Excellent work.
Hey folks. Go see Linda's graphics. They're amazing.

I saw Mark Shield and David Brooks on PBS Friday and they were both asked whether or not Kerry could claim that Bush lied to him and that is why he voted for the war resolution. Initially both said that it would kill him off politically and forever label him as a flip flopper. However, Shields suggested that he might be able to claim he was brainwashed but that he would have to be very careful. Remember what happened to Rommey? I can't believe Shields said that. Rats are getting desperate. I am sad -- NOT.
Ken, that is good. Thanks.
Nope, the Democrats (again) will look to the Clintons and Mcauliffe to (continue to) save them.
We should encourage this. With any luck, the Mcauliffe and the Clintons will still be trying to save the Democrats 8 years from now.
That could be why his eyes sometimes takes on that "hooded look" and he seems to be hiding his gaze from his audiences.
This could get interesting if he gets liquored up for the debates and comes out looking like a zombie.
Kerry had largely abandoned the "Bush-lied" line of attack since admitting on August 9 that, in retrospect, he still would have voted to authorize the war in Iraq... The report from the Senate Intelligence Committee didn't help Kerry either. Whatever one thinks of the report in its entirety, its specific findings helped Bush politically by pouring cold water on the Bush-lied myth. It exposed Joe Wilson as a fraud, found that Iraq had actually increased its anti-U.S. terror planning in 2002, and provided a detailed account of how the intelligence community had reached its consensus that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Kerry's own history on Iraq also complicates his making the case that Bush lied. It's tempting, but we won't return here to the list of hawkish Kerry statements on the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. What we can say is this: From 1996 through the Iraq war last year, John Kerry regularly advocated the use of force, unilaterally if necessary, to remove the Iraqi dictator. He did so before the Bush administration even began to make its case for war. He was such a strong advocate of regime change throughout the late 1990s that Paul Wolfowitz once singled Kerry out by name as a Democrat who understood the Iraqi threat... The content of the speech was reminiscent of Al Gore's recent vein-popping rants, although Kerry wasn't as wild-eyed in his delivery. "The truth is, when it comes to Iraq, it's not that I would have done one thing differently," he said. "I would've done almost everything differently." Everything, that is, other than change his vote. John Kerry says he was misled into an unnecessary war. He also says he'd vote for it all over again.Seems like a good time to type it again:
George W. Bush will win reelection by a margin of at least ten per cent.
If the Bush Admin. Lied About WMD, So Did These People

Nice catch.
Carl Cameron just reported about Kerry's comments in Steubenville OH today, and among them were Lurch's words to the effect that "they want to make this campaign about something that happened 35 years ago." Huh?
He also repeated his 'did not serve' blast about VP Cheney. Query: Who is more qualified to be VP (and perhaps President)? A trial lawyer with less than one term in the Senate? Or a man who served as VP four years during WWIII AND as SecDef during the Gulf War (a war which Kerry voted against by the way)?
Puh-leaze.
Kerry also referred to the Swift Boat Ads as attacks on the voter, though neither I nor Cameron have been able to figure that one out.
I hope someone else sees this report. I couln't find any of this detailed online.
Thanks for the ping. DEMs are not honest, good natured, nor do they act in any way that is unselfish.
I think this flip-flop is a particularly bad move for Kerry.
The RNC, McCain, Giuliani etc. reinforced the view that this was a just war and remains a noble cause in the war on terrorism.
They gave us pride in America's role in the world.
Kerry's gone back the blame America crowd.
I think Americans are tired of that sort of negativity which is one reason why the RNC had such an impact on the polls.
bump to must read
I guess he's trying to say we're downright shtoooopid if we don't vote for him? Other than that, I'm beginning to believe F'n has major mental problems.
